Creating multiple listings pages based on categories

For large property listings, it can be helpful to split them into multiple pages organized by categories. For example, you could create separate pages for houses, apartments, and commercial properties, or you could divide them by sales and rentals. This can make it easier for visitors to find what they are looking for.

Decide on your categories

Before you start creating multiple pages, you should decide on the categories you want to use. There are 3 attributes you can use to categorize your properties:

1. Listing type: This field contains options like Sale or Rent.
2. Property type: This field contains options like House, Apartment, Land, ...
3. Listing status: This field contains options like Available, Sold, Reserved, ...

As you manage your properties, you will give each property a value for each of these attributes.

It's important to note that you can fully customize all the options for these attributes. You can add new options and remove existing ones. You can get creative and use these attributes in any way you like. For example, some customers list all cities they operate in as options in the listing type field, allowing them to create separate pages for each city.

To customize the options for these attributes:

1. Go to the Residenda dashboard and click on the Customize fields tab.
2. Under Sections, click the Listing row (or the translated or customized name of the listing section).
3. Click on the field you want to customize (e.g. Listing type, Property type, or Listing status).
4. Under Options, edit existing options, add new ones by clicking the Add option button, or remove options by clicking the trash can icon next to them.
5. Click the Save changes button when you are done.

How to configure multiple pages

Now that you have decided on your categories, you can create a separate listings page for each category.

1. Open the Wix Editor.
2. Open the page that contains the Residenda plugin. If you have multiple Residenda listings pages, you need to take these steps for each page on which you want to enable filters.
3. Click on (or hover over) the Residenda block, and click the Settings buttons that appears.
   
   
   
   
4. This will open the settings panel. Click the Multi-page tab and then click the Add page button.
5. A new page will be created named Properties. You can rename it to something more descriptive like Houses or Apartments by clicking the Site Pages icons in the left Wix sidebar, then clicking the ... button next to Properties and selecting Rename.
   
   
   
   
6. Next, configure the page to display properties based on specific categories. Again, click on the Settings button of the Residenda block, and now click the Filters tab.
   
   
   
   
7. Depending on how you want to categorize your properties, you can enable filters for the Listing type, Property type, and/or Listing status field.
   
   
   
   
8. Your changes are saved automatically and will be immediately reflected on your live site. Click the X in the top right corner of the settings panel to close it.

Repeat for other categories

You can repeat these steps to create as many pages as you need for different categories. Remember, the original page will still show all properties unless you also apply filters to it.
